Vokèra has expanded its range of unvented cylinders

Vokèra has updated its AquaNova instantaneous gas fired water heater, expanded its range of unvented cylinders and added a small capacity unvented electric water heater range to its portfolio of water heating products.

The AquaNova instantaneous multipoint water heater is designed to provide hot water to multiple outlets in light commercial applications. From a technical point of view, the water heater now features a smaller heat exchanger, leading to a 3% increase in efficiency and an improved response time.

Electrical consumption has been reduced to just 50W, noise lowered to just 47dB(A) and the lift weight has decreased by 0.5 kg. An extended flue length, now reaching 3.4m for horizontal and 4.4m for vertical, as well as an increased temperature range, which can be set or adjusted from 35°C to 60°C, further improves ease of installation and performance. The AquaNova also sports smarter looks with a new, attractive white finish. All connections are easily accessible and, because the unit has no diaphragm or water section, servicing and maintenance are very straightforward.

Vokèra has also enlarged its range of AquaFlow unvented cylinders in response to an increased demand for stored hot water solutions. The established AquaFlow single coil (indirect) range sees additional capacities in the line-up. Now, the range features six models, ranging from 120 to 300 litres, covering all hot water requirements and fully compatible with Vokèra’s range of heat only gas boilers. The AquaFlow Twin (twin coil) unvented cylinder benefits from a new 250 litre model whilst the new AquaFlow HP heat pump indirect unvented cylinder joins the family with three capacities 200, 250 and 300 litres. These new products will meet customers’ requirements with their new storage capabilities and have been given ErP ratings of B and C, indicating minimal heat loss of between 1.08kWh and 2.08kWh per day.

Completing the extensive water heating offering are Vokèra’s new AquaMini small unvented electric water heaters. These hold either 10 or 15 litres of water and weigh only 17.3kg or 23kg when full. Additional features include an average recovery time of just 20 minutes for the AquaMini 10 and 27 minutes for the AquaMini 15. With an electrical supply of just 2kW for both versions, the AquaMini can run from a standard 13A fused spur. The AquaMini is ideal for use in a number of domestic and light commercial applications to supply small quantities of mains pressure hot water.

“The water heating market is well established in the UK and we are delighted to be able to offer our customers a full product range,” comments Neil Mattock, Vokèra’s Marketing Director. “Designed to suit all manner of applications, this expanded range of solutions offers trademark performance and ease of installation benefits to installers and their customers.”
